Definitions
- the present invention relates to an enzymatic process for treating wood-based articles, especially articles made of solid wood or laminated solid wood (e.g. blocks, posts, boards, planks, beams, joists, panels, sheets and the like) with a phenolic substance which, after fixation on and/or within the wood via the agency of the enzyme, confers one or more desired properties (e.g. improved resistance to rot, improved fire resistance, improved resistance to degradation by ultraviolet (UV) radiation and/or altered colour) on the article in question.
- a desired properties e.g. improved resistance to rot, improved fire resistance, improved resistance to degradation by ultraviolet (UV) radiation and/or altered colour
- pressure impregnation processes articles of wood (e.g. pine wood) to be impregnated are immersed, in an appropriate pressure vessel (tank or the like) in a solution comprising one or more impregnating substances dissolved in aqueous medium or in an organic solvent [depending on the nature of the impregnating substance (s) ] .
- pressure impregnation processes articles of wood (e.g. pine wood) to be impregnated are immersed, in an appropriate pressure vessel (tank or the like) in a solution comprising one or more impregnating substances dissolved in aqueous medium or in an organic solvent [depending on the nature of the impregnating substance (s) ] .
- the vessel is then pressurised (pressure typically in the range of about 1.5-10 bar) , normally at a temperature in the range of 20-60°C, for a period of time (typically from 15 minutes to 2 hours) which is adequate to ensure satisfactory penetration of the impregnation solution into the wood.
- articles of wood to be impregnated are normally first subjected, in an appropriate vessel, to a reduced pressure for a period of time, after which the impregnation solution is admitted directly to the vessel so as to equalise the pressure and result in submersion/immersion of the wood articles therein in the solution.
- the reduced pressure employed will normally be a pressure slightly above that at which boiling of the impregnation solution will occur at the temperature in question.
- a pressure of about 6-8 kPa at ambient temperature is fairly typical.
- Typical aqueous impregnation media which have been employed in pressure or vacuum impregnation include aqueous solutions of water-soluble substances, particularly inorganic substances such as copper salts, chromium salts, arsenic compounds, phosphorus compounds, boron compounds and/or fluorides.
- Typical non-aqueous impregnation media which have been employed in pressure or vacuum impregnation include solutions of organic substances ⁇ e.g. coal-tar fractions (such as "creosote oil”) , or halogen-containing aromatic compounds, such as pentachlorophenol or "dichlofluanide” , i.e. 1,1- dichloro-N- [ (dimethylamino) -sulfonyl ] -1-fluoro-W-phenylmethane- sulfenamide) ⁇ and/or organometallic substances [e.g.
- organic substances ⁇ e.g. coal-tar fractions (such as "creosote oil")
- halogen-containing aromatic compounds such as pentachlorophenol or "dichlofluanide” , i.e. 1,1- dichloro-N- [ (dimethylamino) -sulfonyl ] -1-fluoro-W-
- tin compounds such as bis (tributyltin) oxide (“TBTO”) and/or tributyltin naphthenate (“TBTN”)] in organic solvents; the use of a number of organic substances which were previously widely used for impregnating wood, such as pentachlorophenol and certain coal-tar fractions, is now banned in numerous countries)
- TBTO bis (tributyltin) oxide
- TBTN tributyltin naphthenate
- Both pressure and vacuum impregnation techniques have been widely used to treat ready-made wooden articles (e.g. posts, telephone poles, garden furniture, doors and door frames, windows and window frames, fencing, components for construction of harbours, piers, etc.).
- fungicidal impregnating substance (s) /medium used to impregnate a particular type of article depends largely on whether the article is to be permanently in contact with, or may be brought into prolonged contact with, soil (i.e. earth), water or sea water, or is to be exposed to less drastic conditions, such as ambient weather conditions (intermittent rain, snow, wind, etc.).
- the active substance (s) undergo strong fixation in the wood primarily via formation of essentially water-insoluble substances within the wood by reaction (e.g. metathesis) of the water-soluble, active components (usually ions) with substances (such as relatively high-molecular-weight anionic or cationic species) which are naturally present in the wood.
- the active substance (s) undergo strong fixation in the wood primarily via formation of essentially water-insoluble substances within the wood by reaction (e.g. metathesis) of the water-soluble, active components (usually ions) with substances (such as relatively high-molecular-weight anionic or cationic species) which are naturally present in the wood.
- hydrocarbon-type solvents such as those (e.g. toluene or xylenes) often employed in impregnation processes.
- the present invention makes a significant contribution to the fulfilment of this need. Additionally the invention provides a new process for adding and fixating colour (s) to solid wood or laminated solid wood.
- the present invention thus relates to a process for treating a solid wood or laminated solid wood article so as to fixate thereto and/or therein a substance which, in its fixated form, modifies one or more properties of the article; wherein the article is treated, in a liquid preferably aqueous medium, comprising: • A substance which, via oxidative radical formation, undergoes a polymerisation reaction and/or other covalent bond formation reaction leading to fixation of the resulting polymeric and/or covalently bound form of the substance on and/or within the wood. .

Is/are such that any species which derive from the fixated form(s) in question and which become released from the treated wood (e.g. as a consequence of the eventual fungal degradation thereof) are biodegradable in the surrounding environment.
- the substance is one which undergoes oxidative radical formation via reaction with the oxidising agent employed in the process of the invention and under the catalytic influence of the enzyme employed in the process.
- Types of wood which are suitable for treatment in accordance with the invention include wood from various species of pine (genus Pinus) , larch (genus Larix) and beech (genus Fagus) , as well as wood from species such as Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii ) .

- fixation reaction caused by the enzyme, the impregnating substance and the oxidising agent impregnated in the wooden article could suitably be allowed to continue for 0.25-4 hours after immersion in the impregnating liquid before further processing.
- the above-described aspects of the invention relate to the enzyme-promoted fixation of various types of substances, such as substances derived from various phenolic compounds (e.g. phenols per se ) or aromatic amine type compounds, on/ in solid wood (or laminated solid wood) for the purpose, for example, of increasing the resistance of the wood to degradation (e.g. rot) caused by micro-organisms, notably by fungi.
- phenolic compounds e.g. phenols per se
- aromatic amine type compounds e.g. phenols per se
- solid wood or laminated solid wood
- a main underlying concept of the invention as described above is exploitation of antifungal activity exerted by the fixated form(s) of the impregnating substance or substances.
- wood can in general be protected to a large extent against the onset of microbial - notably fungal - degradation by ensuring that the moisture content of the wood does not exceed some particular upper limit, e.g. about 20% w/w in the case of softwoods such as pine or spruce, and one way of achieving this is to reduce the tendency of a wood article to absorb moisture by increasing its "hydrophobicity" .
- some particular upper limit e.g. about 20% w/w in the case of softwoods such as pine or spruce
- the alternative process in question thus comprises treating a solid wood or laminated solid wood article with: (a) an enzyme capable of catalysing the oxidation of phenolic groups; and (b) an oxidising agent appropriate for use in conjunction with the enzyme (i.e. an oxidising agent which, in the presence of the enzyme, oxidises phenolic groups).
- phenolic groups which become oxidised by the action of the enzyme and the oxidising agent are believed to be phenolic groups present in the lignin part of the lignocellulose of the wood. Whilst the mechanism whereby an increase in the "hydrophobicity" (reduced tendency or ability to take up moisture) of a wood article treated in accordance with the process in question is achieved is not presently well understood, it is presently believed that enzyme-mediated reactions occurring on and/or close to the outer surface of the wood are to a large extent responsible herefor.
- the present invention also relates to a treated wood product obtained or obtainable by a process according to the invention as disclosed herein.
- the wood blocks which measured 15 x 15 x 40 mm were incubated by vacuum in a 100 ml solution (0.1M phosphate buffer pH 7) of fungicidal substances with or without Laccase added.
- the Laccase dosage was 0.8 mg enzyme protein per g wood. Vacuum was applied immediately to the solution for 5 min. The vacuum was released and the samples were removed from the solution and left on a screen for 1 hour, allowing for fixation of the fungicidal substance under ambient conditions.
- the incubated and control samples were placed in running tap water for 4 hours and air dried at 105 °C for 24 hours.
- the air dried samples were weighed and the weight was compared to the initial weight.
- the weight gain was calculated and reported in % weight increase compared to the initial weight.
- the impregnated samples were exposed to wood degrading fungi according to European standard EN 113. Following the exposure to wood degrading fungi, the samples were weighed and compared to the weight after incubation. The fungicidal effect was reported as % weight loss.
- Scotch pine a) p-aminophenol 0.5 %w/w b) p-aminophenol 0.5 %w/w + 0.8 mg Laccase protein per g wood. c) Lignosulfonate 10 %w/w. d) Lignosulfonate 10 % w/w + 0.8 mg Laccase protein per g wood. e) Buffer solution only. f) 0.8 mg Laccase protein per g wood only.
- the wood blocks which measured 15 x 15 x 40 mm were incubated by vacuum in a 100 ml solution (0.1M phosphate buffer pH 7) of colouring substance with or without Laccase added.
- the Laccase dosage was 0.8 mg/g wood. Vacuum was applied immediately to the solution for 5 in. The vacuum was released and the samples were removed from the solution.
- the incubated and control samples were placed in running tap water for 4 hours and air dried at 105 °C for 24 hours.
- the colour change was quantified by LAB values of the visible spectrum measured using a Minolta CR-300 cromameter.
- the coloring effect of Laccase is caused by a polymerisation and fixation of the colouring substances in the wood.
- the coloring effect may coincide with a preservative effect.
